If you don’t get tax credits any more

Call the helpline if you can’t repay immediately - you may get more time or be able to spread out payments over a longer period. You’ll need details of your living expenses, income, investments and savings.

Making extra payments

If you can’t pay

HMRC can change your tax code to collect the money owed. They’ll write explaining how this works. To ask them not to do this and pay another way you must contact the Tax Credit Payment Helpline within 30 days of getting their letter.
